According to Friday’s official NFL transaction report, the Kansas City Chiefs made a roster move on Friday. The team signed former Illinois defensive end Owen Carney, making room on the roster by waiving linebacker Luquay Washington.

Carney checks in at 6 foot 3 and 275 pounds. Now 25, he first joined the league as an undrafted free agent for the Miami Dolphins in 2022, but didn’t make the regular season’s initial roster. That November, the Cincinnati Bengals signed him to their practice squad — and then to a reserve/future contract for 2023.
